Conquering Alpine Slopes in Your Basement

But perhaps most astonishing of all: Alpine winter skiing over at your place.

In the summertime.

Meet the SkyTec Interactive Simulator via SkyTechSport, an arsenal of virtual reality ski-training
machines that duplicate conquering Olympic slopes, but without the tree risk, available now for home
rental.

As you might’ve guessed by the Bond-villain-type name, Germans are behind this. The very same group that
recently built a state-of-the-art ski-training center in Beverly Hills as a response to nature’s
stubborn refusal to accommodate all skiers anywhere, at all times. Next: they’ll be marching their giant
machines over to your place, provided you live in a part of the Western world accessible by mail.

Having a sizable rumpus room will help, too. You’ll be strapped into a pair of ski boots, carving
side-to-side on a lateral-moving belt, while motion sensors transmit your moves onto a trio of 10-foot
screens with an environment of your creation (thick glades, bumps you can actually feel under your feet,
harsh weather).
